Great work Fiona. I'm with you - I love wrinkles and grumpy faces (unfortunately, I keep getting commission work for beautiful young people and babies)!!
Another Incredible Sketch that completely captures this man's essence!
Artist Reply: Somehow my sketching improved 10 fold in the middle of my own mayhem. This is when I did my best work and favoured doing portraits of grumpy men
But you didn't make him grumpy enough.. he almost looks nice here.. excellent work.. and thanks for the comment on mine..
Artist Reply: LOL Barbara, I sketched this from a black n white photo and this was as grumpy as he was in this one I'm afraid. Love your work you are so very talented and much admired by me!
you've done a great job with this portrait Fiona. Excellent contrat and shading.
Artist Reply: thanks Jeanie, I've still avoided picking up the paint brush ..... something about doing my second painted portrait me is holding me back
Artist Reply: thanks Jeanie - this one was a total fluke, I nicely surprised myself:0)
